Audit Qualifications and Compliance
Statutory auditors M/s. S.S. Kothari Mehta & Co. issued an audit report with a modified opinion, highlighting that the company did not recognize interest on financial assistance availed from July 01, 2024 onwards. This non-compliance with Ind AS 109 resulted in an understatement of loss before tax for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, by ₹884.96 lakhs and an overstatement of profit before tax for the year by ₹4,107.69 lakhs. Additionally, current liabilities as at March 31, 2026, were understated by ₹7,027.26 lakhs. The auditors also noted a material uncertainty related to the company's ability to continue as a going concern due to defaults in repayment and significant losses.
Consolidated Performance
The consolidated results included the financial performance of subsidiaries such as Orissa Steel Expressway Private Limited and Guruvayoor Infrastructure Private Limited. The auditors identified further qualifications in the consolidated results, including the non-recognition of interest by subsidiary Guruvayoor Infrastructure Private Limited and the recognition of a compensation receipt of ₹17,289.27 lakhs in Other Equity rather than the Statement of Profit and Loss by Orissa Steel Expressway Private Limited. Adjusted consolidated figures reflected a profit before tax of ₹5,803.74 lakh against the reported loss before tax of ₹5,912.92 lakh.
